Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage tank technology, and in particular to a storage tank for alcohols. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, for the storage and transportation of alcohols such as methanol, cylindrical storage tanks are generally used for filling. Taking methanol as an example, cylindrical storage tanks do not have heat insulation and explosion-proof functions, while methanol is relatively sensitive to temperature and is prone to fire. Furthermore, cylindrical tanks will roll during transportation, requiring them to be secured before loading, which is a cumbersome process, and rolling during transportation can easily damage the shell. In addition, current cylindrical storage tanks generally do not have liquid level indicators, making it impossible to know the filling status of methanol inside. In order to address the above-mentioned shortcomings, this application is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a storage tank for alcohols that solves the problems of poor heat insulation and explosion-proof performance, easy rolling, and lack of liquid level display in current cylindrical storage tanks for alcohols.

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides an alcohol storage tank, comprising a shell and a guardrail module. The shell is provided with a polyurea coating, a filling port, and a liquid level display module. The liquid level display module includes a sleeve, a float, and a viewing window. The sleeve is located inside the shell and connected to the interior of the shell. The connection hole should be smaller than the diameter of the float to prevent the float from detaching from the sleeve. The guardrail module has at least one flat surface to ensure stable placement of the shell. The guardrail module includes at least two sets of sub-modules, which are connected by connectors to form the guardrail module. The guardrail module is used to install on the shell to prevent rolling.

[0005] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a valve body assembly or a cap assembly is provided at the filling port, and the valve body assembly or cap assembly is used to control the opening and closing of the filling port.

[0006] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the sub-module is provided with a positioning part to assist in the rapid assembly of the sub-module. The positioning part can be in the form of plug-in connection or in the form of structural concave-convex matching.

[0007] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the connector includes a bolt assembly, and the sub-module is provided with bolt holes, with at least two sets of bolt holes on each sub-module.

[0008] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the bottom of the shell is provided with a bottom boss, which is a structure in which the bottom edge protrudes from the ground, and plays a protective role during the transportation of the storage tank.

[0009] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the overall cross-sectional shape of the guardrail module is polygonal, such as 4 to 6 sides.

[0010] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the overall cross-sectional shape of the guardrail module is square or rectangular.

[0011] According to one embodiment of the present invention, at least two sets of guardrail modules are provided, respectively located near both ends of the housing.

[0012] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the surface of the guardrail module in contact with the shell is provided with an anti-slip structure, such as anti-slip material strips, anti-slip textures, anti-slip protrusions, etc., to achieve the anti-slip effect.

[0013] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the housing is provided with a positioning groove or positioning protrusion for positioning and installing the guardrail module. The positioning groove or positioning protrusion can be arranged in a ring or in segments. The inner wall of the sub-module should be provided with a protrusion or groove that matches the positioning groove or positioning protrusion.

[0014] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the liquid level display module is arranged on one end face of the housing where the filling port is located, or it can be arranged on the side of the housing along the axial direction.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by providing a polyurea coating on the outer surface of the shell, the polyurea coating has the functions of heat insulation, enhancing material strength, and explosion protection, thereby improving transportation safety; by setting a liquid level display module, the position of the float can be observed through a window to determine the fullness of the liquid in the storage tank, making the internal filling situation more intuitive; by setting a guardrail module installed on the shell, the rolling effect is achieved, and the shape of the storage tank is changed from round to square, effectively isolating it during stacking and handling.
